From the foyer, steps lead up to the first floor.
Upstairs, there’s a family room (just above the
living), a pooja area, master bedroom and kids
room. Akin to the living area, the family space too
sports a similar composition with a lovely handabove

column and a long cylindrical wooden handle, the
entrance is a small yet striking specimen of the
stunning wood work that awaits one inside.
Customized MS hanging LED lights (powdercoated
black) at the entrance literally lights up the
craftsmanship of the door. A foyer (right in the
centre of the house) leads you to the living room on
the left and on the right are the dining, kitchen and
parents’ room. Brown, beige and white are the
dominant colours in the living room as suggested by
the facade. Encased in a wooden frame, brass
Shrinathji figures sit subtly on the feature wall here.
The coffee table (with its L-shaped striped design)
and the media unit are specimens of the beautiful
craftsmanship that Devang and Pratik are known
for. A warm ambience is created with rich suede
upholstered sofas; decorative veneer panels behind
the media unit; and a paper lamp as the centre
piece. The open kitchen and dining area have a
minimal and clean design. The table and chairs are
made of teak with white onyx used as the table top.
The parents’ room was designed on the ground
floor, keeping in mind their age and limitation of
movement. Simple and serene, it comprises a bed
with a brown leather headrest, a side table and a
small wardrobe.
